Mr. John P. SmithTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to improve the control of illegal drugs coming into the United Kingdom at Cardiff Wales airport.
§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardThe recent national review of anti-smuggling controls which has taken place within the Customs and Excise department has directed resources far more towards areas of risk and has increased the flexibility of staff to address those risks. Flexible anti-smuggling teams are being used at Cardiff Wales airport and these have improved the controls to combat the importation of illegal drugs both there and in other parts of the executive unit.
